Theres nothing better than getting home from work/school on a tuesday night, downloading the newest episode of the Bombcast and listen to it while playing a good PC game for me. The only problem is when i play FPS's, when i burst into laughter over vent on accedent while in the middle of saying something.

Same here, if I play a game while listening I will either miss everything in the bombcast or suck completely at the game.

I like to pop the bombcast over to my ipod and listen to it as I go to sleep.

I do... although I listen to other podcasts too.

I'm playing a space-trading game on my mac, which doesn't really require my attention all the time - But I've also found it feasible to play fighting on console with the music off, while listening to podcasts.

Tried playing FF4 while listening last night, ended up playing FF4 then listening in bed because I couldn't listen to what they were saying and read the dialogue :P

I do. Even if I listen to the Bombcast while walking to school and back, I'll listen to it a second time while playing either FIFA or Football manager normally. 


I find their voices comforting :S

I listen to it on the PC, so yeah. I'm usually playing something that doesn't require much attention though, or else I miss a lot.

depends on the game,
I listen to podcasts while playing games like Civ 4, wow or Fallout 3. But would not listen to a podcast in COD 4 or L4D

If it's a lay-back game that I can listen to the podcast over without missing anything, such as XBLA games etc., then absolutely. I like listening to it in the car the most though. samcotts said:

I remember the first time I had my mom listen to the podcast, within the first minute she said, "I want to fuck Brad's voice."

I don't really do that.  If I'm going to listen to the podcast I'm just going to listen to the podcast and focus on the discussion.  When I play I usually just focus on the game.

nope. I listen to it at work like I do with all the other podcasts I listen to.  It makes the day so much easier and go by a lot faster.

If I'm at my computer, the only thing I can play without being distracted to the point of ignoring the podcast is Peggle. Hours of it.

All the time, but I normally will put the game in windowed mode, so I can easily pause the podcast for story, or intense parts of the games.

Totally, as long as I don't really have to think or be involved in the game. Multiplayer, downloadable games, and just tasks that don't require listening or much thinking with words I can definitely play.

I always used to listen to the Hotspot while playing games, most often Halo online. I rarely do that with BC, maybe it's because there's no Rich.

I listen to music/podcasts a lot when I am playing games.

Some of the music, especially in games like Street Fighter, gets a little old after hearing it for the hundredth time.

Can't say I have, but that gave me an idea.  When I get Deadly Creatures, I might try playing it while listening to the Quick Look.

Pretty much this. Really depends on when it's put up and since I'm -7:00 I can get away with sneaking it in before I pass out.

With every Podcast I listen to, especially the Bombcast, I play Video Games why doing so, however if the games text heavy, I just can't do it, fortunately for most games that's not the case.

Yep, I usually play a game while listening to any podcast (or audiobooks for that matter), but it has to be some action game or I can't pay attention to both.  Last night I played Killzone 2 while listing to the Major Nelson podcast.  Played a fair amount of Street Fighter 4 listening to the Bombcast...

Final note : I use a portable MP3 player, I can imagine if you didn't have one you might run into different sorts of difficulties trying to do this.
